Ian Ziering initially hoped Baby No. 2 would be a boy

Actor Ian Ziering was initially disappointed to learn his wife was expecting a second daughter after hoping to have a boy.

The former “Beverly Hills, 90210″ star’s wife, Erin, is due to give birth to a sibling for 22-month-old Mia in May, and Ziering admits he felt a little blue when doctors unveiled the sex of their unborn child because he had been keeping his fingers crossed for a son.

The actor, the youngest of three brothers, tells People.com, “(I wanted to) teach him how to be a good guy and a great man.”

However, he has since come around to the idea of being surrounded by females: “At the moment I found out what sex the baby was, there was a little time of disappointment but there are just as many reasons to have a girl as to have a boy. Spending two years with Mia showed me that.”
